    Hey Cree! :wave:
    Why dont we do something earlier in the summer? We could get everyone together as a pre-preparty! All meet for drinks and do a fundraiser! You could man that one and I would be willing to help you out where I can with it. Of course then you would have to not stare angrily at me the day of the show.... :D

    Hey Laura I think you have the wrong link for Winnipeg, FYI. :)

    I'll most likely be in attendance. Can't wait!
    No longer overwhelmed it seems so simple now.

    I think we have a benefactor and potential location for Vancouver.

    Im going to be organizing an edmonton pearljam preparty but I think it is going to be outside the wishlist foundation. I basically want to get a bunch of jammers together and raise some money for the Slave Lake Alberta Wildfires Red Cross Fund. I dont want this to conflict with what Genevieve is doing, hence, Im not sure if I should have it the day of or night before the concert....reccommendations?


    I think it's a wonderful idea and I think it's something the other fundraisers could think about. I think if anyone knows anything about what has happened in Slave Lake there would be no disagreements. Living in Alberta myself I am a bit biased maybe. Good idea Cree, they have a lot of rebuilding to do, and not just homes, but of spirit.

    I didn't read this post until after I responded to your other one. But I think that you should do the two at the same time same place, to try to get people to come together at two separate times might not be as successful. What's the harm in doing it together? Slave Lake needs help now, and after all we are in Alberta... makes sense to me. Things that are thought in love should be pursued.

    We could just have a private moment to glare at each other... but I think I would just end up laughing... :evil: :shock:

    i'd love to volunteer for the Ottawa pre-party - count me in! :D (i know Kanata like the back of my hand!). :D

    Thanks stargazer! That's awesome... could you help us find a bar/restaurant that is close to the venue that can hold at least 300 people?

    I should be able to help out with Hamilton. I also know a nice large Bar/Restaurant http://stonewallshamilton.com/ it is about 4 blocks from Copps. I know the owner and I will talk to him about helping The Wishlist out.

    That would be super.... do yo know how many people it can hold? I can't commit to organizing this event because we'll be driving the 6 hours back from Ottawa, but we'll have all the fundraiser merch... so if you could help arrange the venue that would be amazing!

    added!!

    Unfortunately I can't volunteer the night/day of the concert due to my work schedule. I'm basically going to be heading straight to the show from work. But I can donate some stuff for the Hamilton show.

    I make buttons, magnets, keychains and stuff, so I could make up some Pearl Jam stuff and drop them off the night before.

    Also, I could help organize the event in advance given that I'm in Hamilton.

    Let me know.

    Thanks. Happy organizing.

    That would be awesome! :) We are always looking for donations. Maybe you can get in contact with PictureFrameOfRage and see if you two can figure out a way to exchange your donations? Or beg your boss to get off work an hour or two early to come down and just hang out with us all! :)

    Maybe you and Genevieve can compromise & have co-beneficiaries with maybe some mutual slightly annoyed glares instead? :mrgreen:

    So is this your way of saying you want to volunteer as organizer? lol or you want to stay a volunteer and need an organizer? :D
